In this episode, we sit down with the incredible William Sadler, whose career has spanned some of cinema's most iconic moments — from action blockbusters to cult horror classics.We dive into his unforgettable role as the ruthless Colonel Stuart in Die Hard 2, and how he flipped the script playing Death in the Bill & Ted universe — with all the hilarious, behind-the-scenes stories that came with it.Horror fans won't want to miss our chat about his beloved roles in Demon Knight, Bordello of Blood, The Hills Run Red, Machete Kills, The Grudge, and Salem's Lot — films that have cemented his place as a genre favourite.We also reflect on his time in two of cinema's most celebrated dramas, The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, and what those projects taught him about the power of storytelling.William opens up about his pursuit of acting, the ups and downs of life in the business, and the advice he'd give his younger self today.Plus, we explore his passion for music, including his project The Kitchen Tapes, with proceeds supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital — an amazing cause close to his heart.To support his music and learn more, visit: https://therealwilliamsadler.com/For more of my content - linktr.ee/FirstClassHorrorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

In this sermon we continue the series we started last week on hope and resilience. Here we talk about bad ways of thinking about hope, what the first century Greco-Roman world thought about hope, what the formation of Yosemite of millions of years has to teach us about the power of time in the life of faith, what pie and ice cream teaches us about the hope reserved for us in heaven, and of course The Shawshank Redemption.

BT and Sal dive into a lively discussion about their cinematic viewing habits, revealing surprising gaps and strong opinions. Sal admits to shockingly never seeing Die Hard with a Vengeance and only recently watching the original Die Hard, much to BT's disbelief and comedic outrage over Sal's qualms about John McClane's bare feet. Their conversation quickly spirals into a broader "guy movie" quiz, with BT challenging Sal on classics like Scarface, The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Shawshank Redemption, while Sal reveals he's missed out on Fight Club, Heat, and Rambo, leading to further playful jabs and a call for Sal to expand his action film horizons.

What a surreal moment - getting to chat with Thomas Newman and Julia Newman! Whether you're a big film music fan or a casual film goer, I'll guess that you're familiar with Tom, having been nominated for fifteen Academy Awards (I accidentally say fourteen...) and scoring projects like The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Finding Nemo & Finding Dory, 1917, and loads more. Now, Julia is picking up the family's film and tv scoring mantle, and the two of them recently co-scored Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, a dramatization of the Menendez brothers crimes. We use the series as a jumping off point for the conversation, regularly referring to and discussing it while also pivoting into broader conversations about collaboration, improvisation and working quickly, the use of theme and repetition, and plenty more. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is currently on Netflix, and Tom and Julia's score (as well as much of their other work) is available on all major platforms.

Movie of the Year: 1999The Green MileWhy The Green Mile Still Strikes a ChordOn this episode of the Movie of the Year podcast, the Taste Buds step into the hauntingly spiritual world of The Green Mile, Frank Darabont's sweeping 1999 adaptation of the Stephen King novel. Blending magical realism with deeply human storytelling, The Green Mile tackles justice, pain, and the inexplicable mysteries of life—and the panel is here to unpack it all.As they revisit this emotional powerhouse, the Taste Buds examine the film's artistry, cultural context, and why it continues to resonate with audiences decades later. Whether listeners are longtime fans or curious newcomers, this discussion sheds light on the film's enduring significance.Darabont and King: Adapting The Green MileFew director-author pairings have produced such emotionally resonant work as Frank Darabont and Stephen King. After the success of The Shawshank Redemption, Darabont returned to King's work with The Green Mile, crafting another prison-set epic—but this time with a supernatural twist.The Taste Buds explore how Darabont translates King's sprawling narrative into a cohesive film, balancing intimate performances with grand themes of morality, fate, and grace. The episode also compares both adaptations, highlighting what makes The Green Mile uniquely powerful.Related Links:Stephen King's Official SiteIMDb: The Green MileCoffey and Race: A Complicated Legacy in The Green MileJohn Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) is one of the most memorable characters in 1990s cinema, but also one of its most debated. This episode takes a close look at the racial dynamics of the film, unpacking the “magical Negro” trope and its implications.The panel wrestles with the emotional potency of Coffey's story, the film's approach to race and injustice, and how it reflects the myth-making tendencies of Hollywood storytelling, especially when viewed through a modern lens.The Power of Love in The Green MileAt its core, The Green Mile is a film about love. Not romantic love, but love expressed through compassion, understanding, and humanity. The Taste Buds reflect on the different relationships in the film—Paul Edgecomb's (Tom Hanks) empathy for Coffey, the bonds between the prison guards, and even Coffey's tenderness toward the mouse, Mr. Jingles.The discussion highlights how the film uses moments of grace to balance its darker themes and why The Green Mile remains a tearjerker that earns every emotional beat.Bonus Segment: Being John MalkovichAs a special treat for listeners, the episode includes a bonus segment where the Taste Buds dive into another 1999 classic: Being John Malkovich. They explore the film's surreal originality, its commentary on identity and celebrity, and how it stands as one of the boldest cinematic experiments of the year. It's a wild ride that perfectly complements the emotional gravity of The Green Mile.Guest Panelist Spotlight: Erik from Cradle 2 the GraveJoining the Taste Buds for this episode is special guest Erik, host of the Cradle 2 the Grave podcast. With his signature insight and deep love for ‘90s cinema, Erik brings fresh perspectives to the discussion, particularly on the cultural legacy of The Green Mile. His dynamic presence adds a new flavor to the panel as they dig deep into themes of justice, faith, and film craft.

Join us for an engaging episode of Parsha & Prose with Rabbi Shlomo Gemara as we explore the Torah portion of Bamidbar through the lens of the iconic 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont and adapted from Stephen King's novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. In Bamidbar, God instructs Moses to conduct a census of the Jewish people, assessing their numbers and strength as they prepare to enter Canaan. Rabbi Gemara masterfully connects this parsha to The Shawshank Redemption, drawing parallels between the structured organization of the Israelite camp and the enduring hope of the film's protagonist, Andy Dufresne, who clings to hope in the face of an oppressive prison environment. Through lively discussions, heartfelt stories, and moments of laughter and reflection, Rabbi Gemara and I (Avrum) uncover the profound themes of hope and purpose that resonate in both the parsha and the film. Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation! Am Yisrael Chai.

For Episode 66, Andrene and Joel scrutinize 1994's "The Shawshank Redemption". After he is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) befriends fellow inmate Red (Morgan Freeman) and learns to make the most of the ongoing torture in his new situation.

Hope is a dangerous thing. It can drive a man insane. You better get used to that." So says Ellis Redding to his friend, Andy, in the famous movie, Shawshank Redemption. Hope can be hard. But it's what Easter is all about. On Good Friday, Jesus died to give us forgiveness, and on Easter, he rose to give us hope.

Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker, 3 x Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former crime boss in Dallas, who was sentenced to Life in prison for Organized Crime. USA Today calls him the “modern day Shawshank Redemption and the most in-demand speaker in America.” At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury and turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress and trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. On parole in Texas until 2073, his story is one of hope, redemption, grit and the resilience of the Human spirit. Today on the show we discuss: why USA Today has compared Damon's story to "The Shawshank Redemption," how he transformed his mindset inside a maximum security prison, how to escape mental prisons and learn from adversity, daily spiritual and mental practices that changed his life, Damon's powerful story of forgiveness from one of his victims, what he's doing to give back and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Send us a textMe Llamo Matt brings his unique perspective as an entrepreneur, investor, and founder of the Me Llamo Art Foundation to an engaging conversation about the evolution of digital ownership. What begins with his personal journey from crypto skepticism to NFT advocacy opens the door to profound insights about value, patience, and human connection in the digital age.Matt's storytelling shines when he discusses his dream of living on an Italian lake with an antique wooden boat, revealing how our digital-focused community still craves authentic experiences shared with loved ones. His advice to "take care of yourself before taking care of others" offers a refreshing counterbalance to the always-on nature of Web3, while his observation that "great leaders follow themselves" celebrates the independent thinking that drives innovation.Drawing fascinating parallels between the evolution of music consumption, books, cash transactions, and now art ownership, Matt builds a compelling case for digital property as legitimate property. "Just wait," he encourages those skeptical about NFT display limitations, predicting that technological advances will soon make our early collections look "phenomenal" and historically significant.The conversation takes an unexpectedly moving turn when Matt connects the Shawshank Redemption quote "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies" to the current state of Web3. In a market that tests patience, his passionate belief in hope as our guiding force resonates deeply with anyone who's weathered the ups and downs of emerging technologies.From his early baseball card trading savvy to his surprising poker skills and the meaningful work of the Me Llamo Art Foundation, Matt exemplifies how traditional values of community, integrity, and strategic patience translate perfectly into the digital frontier.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review!This episode, we're stepping into the eerie and unsettling world of The Mist (2007), a harrowing adaptation of Stephen King's novella directed by Frank Darabont. Known for adapting King's works with finesse (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile), Darabont delivers a tense, claustrophobic horror film that dives deep into human nature when fear and desperation take hold.Setting the Scene: Monsters in the MistThe story begins in the small town of Bridgton, Maine, where a violent storm causes a power outage. Artist David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his young son Billy (Nathan Gamble) venture into town for supplies, along with their neighbour Brent Norton (Andre Braugher). As a mysterious mist rolls in, trapping them and other townspeople in a supermarket, it becomes clear that terrifying, deadly creatures lurk in the fog.But the true horror emerges not from the creatures outside but from the growing paranoia, fear, and fanaticism inside the store. The group splinters as Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden), a religious zealot, gains followers by declaring the mist an act of divine retribution. Tensions rise, and survival becomes as much about navigating human threats as it is about avoiding the nightmarish creatures.Why It Stands OutPsychological Horror Over Monsters: The Mist isn't just about creepy creatures—it's a study of how fear can turn people against each other. The tension is unrelenting, and the real danger becomes the people succumbing to fear and fanaticism.That Ending: The gut-wrenching, bleak finale remains one of the most divisive and shocking in horror film history. Deviating from King's original ending, Darabont delivers a twist so nihilistic it haunts viewers long after the credits roll.Powerful Performances: Thomas Jane shines as a desperate father trying to protect his son, while Marcia Gay Harden's Mrs. Carmody is an unsettling portrayal of religious extremism. The supporting cast, including Toby Jones and William Sadler, bring depth and authenticity to their roles.Atmosphere and Tension: The supermarket setting is a perfect microcosm of societal collapse. Claustrophobic, tense, and rife with dread, the film captures the mounting hysteria and desperation.A Dad's TakeThe Mist is a great watch for horror fans, but it's not just about monsters. It's a disturbing exploration of human nature, moral dilemmas, and the choices we make when all hope seems lost. It's a reminder that sometimes, the scariest monsters are the ones inside us.Final ThoughtsFrank Darabont's The Mist is a horror film that lingers long after viewing. It's terrifying, tragic, and thought-provoking, delivering a uniquely unsettling experience. For dads who appreciate psychological horror and impactful storytelling, it's a must-watch—just don't expect a happy ending.So, join us as we venture into the mist, dissecting the film's themes, unforgettable moments, and that notorious ending. It's Bad Dads Film Review at its darkest!

Last in the series on Genesis: "'The answer is in the story, and the story is still being told.' That story - your story, our story - will keep being told as long as we live and breathe - and then long after we have lived and breathed - even as Joseph's story is still being told today. And while there's no magical place that can take away your suffering or erase your painful memories or immediately rescue from whatever troubles you at this moment, there remains the next page to be written; the next chapter to be drafted; and the next act, still to be composed. 'The answer is in the story, and the story is still being told.'"  (Apologies for the sniffles in this episode - this was recorded as I still had the flu! RM)

Hey listeners! Jeff here. We're taking a little break so Dan can deal with some personal family matters. We'll be back soon—but in the meantime, we thought you might enjoy a flashback.  This month's offering is a replay of our first episode from way back in November 2017.  The Last Jedi topped the box office, Wonder by R.J. Palacio was the best-selling book of the year, and “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran dominated the Billboard Charts. It was a simpler time, listeners.  Allow Dan and I to take you to the way-back-when, if only for an hour. It's time. Barter for a rock hammer, pin up your poster of Rita Hayworth, and prepare to inspire hope in your fellow inmates. This is a replay of The Hero's Journey of The Shawshank Redemption.

Morgan Freeman (Lioness, Shawshank Redemption, Unforgiven) is an Academy Award-winning actor, producer, and narrator. Morgan joins the Armchair Expert to discuss auditioning as dancer for the World's Fair, narrowly avoiding becoming the next Captain Kangaroo, and a difficult decision to leave his grandmother's home in Mississippi to pursue his acting dreams. Morgan and Dax talk about bucking authority, how sailing is a metaphor for hope, and not wanting to be pitied during a terminal illness. Morgan shares the benefits of working with writer-directors, what it was like being asked to be in a film by Clint Eastwood himself, and why struggling to get back up when you fall is the true secret of success.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
